Poll 51 -- New World Stuff
I've done this one before, but I wanna do it again cuz i gotta know what people all the way out there outside of my room think about it!
Rank your MOST to LEAST favorite things about unlocking a new world in IdleOn (like world 3, or world 4, etc)
🥇 = Most favorite thing
🥈 = Next favorite thing
🥉 = Not very favorite thing
🧵 = LEAST favorite thing
Learning the new skills, like figuring out how they even work in the first place (i.e. the more intricate / complex the skill is, the better!)
Unlocking stuff in new skills (like getting new tower-defence towers or getting new Bubble types) and the side-features (like post office or prayers)
Exploring the world maps themselves (seeing new NPCs, doing their quests, finding secret maps and minibosses, and of course seeing all the different monsters in the world)
Finding/upgrading additions to OLD stuff (like new stamps, new bubbles that weren't out before, new Equipment Tab in anvil, new statues, etc)
Having a new 'endgame' to reach. Like that's at the front of your mind, just knowing you have new content to push and new reasons to keep getting bigger numbers
I genuinely don't have a favorite thing. Those are all things that enter my mind, but i dont think/care about any of them in particular
Use one 1 of each 🥇 🥈 🥉 🧵 reaction across ALL votes pls

Poll 52 -- More MMO Multiplayer stuff
Currently, there are 3 major MMO features:
Party Dungeons: Cooperative, visual, and impacts game stats
Seeing/Chatting with other players: Visual
Guilds: Cooperative, and impacts game stats
I have long been thinking about a 4th feature, and I'm curious to see what people enjoy most about MMOs.
I like massively co-op stuff, like server bosses or daily random events where 100s of people play them at once for rewards
I like trading! Anything that can create an in-game economy, where I can get rich within the world and become a master merchant!
I like competitive stuff! Anything where I can match myself against real people in some way, and become 'the best' and be top 500 or even the #1 best!
I like "soft" competitive stuff, where I can show off my greatness but not "compete" against others necessarily. Think Player Houses, where you can be the #1 visited house, but you aren't fighting House vs House pvp
⚠️ This is not a vote on which one you want in IdleOn, since no one knows how I'd implement any of these. This is just a vote on which Idea you like the most in all games youve played.

Poll 53 -- For Simplicities Sake!!
Many of the early-mid game Alchemy Bubbles have two resource costs (apart from liquids). This may be a leading cause of Alchemy-Fatigue and an unnecessary component of complexity that no longer serves a purpose, and is something that I haven't touched on in ages.
With this in mind, please react to the one you agree with most:
All bubbles should only have 1 resource cost, not including liquids. This way you can hyper-focus on a bubble without having to juggle with 2nd resource you need, and people will have an easier time with it.
Some bubbles should stay at 2 resource costs, as understanding different resources and balancing between them is just part of the game, and its definitely better this way.
2nd Option: Current 1st Option: Proposed Change to all

Poll 54 -- Random Event Parties
So random events will be little boss / monster encounters that you'll have the choice to do every now and then (like Dungeon Happy Hours). They will 100% be solo-able, and will only take ~3 minutes to complete. Your reward will be consumable items (statues, exp balloons, loot dice, etc) and a small chance for rare items -- think 1 in 50 and 1 in 200.
However, I want to involve the Party system in this, so consider the following:
**If you have a party, the random-event boss gets a little bit more HP and has a higher chance of dropping items. IMPORTANTLY, this drop rate wont scale very much:
If you SOLO, you'll have a 1.00x drop chance.
A party of 3 would have a 1.21x drop chance.
A full party of 10 would have a 1.50x drop rate. **
In short, you can completely ignore parties, do the Random Event solo in a few minutes, and get a 1.00x drop multiplier to rewards.
OR, you can invite & join others on the map / group up with friends, and get anywhere from a 1.10x - 1.50x drop rate for your troubles
-Please react to what describes you best:-
I will be soloing random events, but I think this is good. Groups should change things up a bit, and this accomplishes that.
I will be soloing random events, and I think this is dumb. Groups shouldn't have any advantage over soloing.
I will be in parties for random events, but I think this is good. You should get some sort of bonus for going to the trouble of forming a party, and this gives us that bonus.
I will be in parties for random events, and I think this isn't right. Grouping up shouldn't give me more rewards.

Poll 57 -- Doing stuff in Quick-Ref
Currently, while most things cannot be interacted with during Quick-Ref, there are certain actions you are allowed to do during Quick-Ref (like trashing obols, turning in Tasks, playing the Arcade).
Were you aware of this?
Which one of the following best describes your reaction if there were MORE minor things you could interact with in Quick-Ref -- like equipping "big bubbles", changing obols, changing Star Signs (nothing major like using storage chest or upgrading bubbles)
I don't really like this. You shouldn't just get to do whatever you want whenever you want. The few things you are allowed to do in Quick-Ref are enough.
This is good, but MAINLY because I hate teleporting back and forth everywhere to do certain minor things like starsigns.
This is good, but MAINLY because honestly I just forget to do certain things sometimes due to the hassle and this would help get me into a regular rhythm of doing certain things
This is good, but not for either above reason, but just a more general "this will cut out some of the annoying aspects of playing" vibe to it
Also a final question, only because I'm curious: Do you AGREE with the following statements:
Way more things should be viewable in Quick-ref, like Sailing/3d-Printer/Breeding/Cooking (not asking about intractability here)
Every single thing should be interactable in quick-ref (not just 'more', but literally everything)
cobalt mural
**Poll 58 -- More Quick-ref More More! **

Poll 59 -- Game Translation
I've been mulling over translation for over a year now, mostly due to the difficulties / limitations of how translating would actually take place.
Item Names and Descriptions. Items, like literally items that go in the Items section and you put in storage and you pick them up.
NPC Quest Names and the text in their Speech Bubbles when you click on them. This would also include the Quest Helper.
Talent Names and descriptions.
Buttons with words -- like the buttons at the bottom of the screen, tabs with words like in Alchemy / Construction / Pets / Cooking etc. So many buttons!

Poll 60 - Friend Referral
Imagine there was a way to, once a day, send a gift to a friend. It would be something small, think like 3 Guild Giftboxs or like 50 gems or something.
I would not use this tbh
I would totally use this, I have plenty of people in my friends list who I'd send gifts too who would love them!
I don't have any friends in my list, but if you added this system I'd try to find some ppl to start sharing gifts with!
Which one of these MOST describes you? Use 
just once
This would incentivize me to recommend the game to others, as you described it above.
This would incentivize me to recommend the game to others, but only if there was some OP item reward once you get like, say, 10 referrals or 100 gifts in total.
This wouldn't impact my willingness to tell others about the game. Like, whether i recommend it will have nothing to do with this system existing or not.

React only ONCE to each update.
cobalt mural
Consider each of the following possible updates. For each one, tell me how it makes you feel.
🥇 Oh wow, I really want this!
🥈 That would be cool I guess...
🥉 I probably would not care at all
A cooperative Clicker update.
It would not be fast-paced, sweaty like Owl/Roo, but would be only few upgrades a day, and less linear. Imagine sharing a savefile of cookie clicker with a friend, where you share the same cookies and share the upgrades you make with them. But there would be tons of twists and turns to make things more interesting long-term than Owl/Roo. Rewards would be bonuses shared by everyone in the "group", similar to how guild bonuses work.
Player Housing.
You would be able to build your own setup (maybe even your own map...? With custom platforms placed wherever you want, within reason). You would be able to visit other's maps with a code, and there could even be small bonuses -- maybe a top player could build a Gilded Throne that gives players +1% AFK Gains permanently once they visit it, so noobs can go door-to-door collecting tiny bonuses, and pros can be the ones building those bonuses and feeling like a baller as noobs drop by.
Server-wide bossing
Simple stuff, you all as a community (not as tons of individual small communities, just the 1 big idleon community) take down bosses for rewards. The "fun" of this would NOT be the actual fighting itself (it wont be like a Skill-based Darksouls boss), but rather the communal spirit of doing damage and trying to kill (the boss would probably just let you do damage to it until a timer runs out for the day).
More guild stuff.
Hi it's me, More Guild Stuff, from the IdleOn Game Poll section called more guild stuff. I have more bonuses for the guild, maybe guild-specific bosses instead of server bosses, and yea more guild stuff.
Only give out ONE 🥇 , you can give out multiple 🥈 and 🥉 . So you could go 1 / 3 / 3 / 3, or 2 / 2 / 3 / 1, etc

I was about to start making the Wisdom Monument in Cavern 13, which would take a few days.
... but then I thought, what if I just went straight into making the next master class?
Which would you rather have happen:
Master class releases in 30 days from now, then Monument releases 33 days from now.
🧠 Monument (cavern 13) releases in a few days, so Master Class would release in 33 days from now.

I'm not talking about IdleOn's in-game "steam exclusive" achivements, I'm talking about Steam's achievement system.
Would you like to see all idleon achievements be added to Steam's achievement system? Currently, only 68 of the 266 achievements are in steam's system.
This is NOT about adding more "steam-exclusive achievements. This is just about adding achievements to Steam's system shown below:

Please read the following arguments, and then make your vote:
Hat Rack is about being in the now, and depositing hats yourself! You gotta have the hat, and deposit it, simple as. Trashed a hat years ago? Tough luck!
Hat Rack is a fun system in a fun game. If I got the hat before, proven by it being in my Slab, it should be added to Hat Rack automatically! That would be the most fun for the most amount of people.

Scrolling up/down in things without having to tap on the little scrolling circle!
A way to split stacks of items -- If i have a stack of 10, being able to separate it into a stack of say, 8 and 2!
More readable font (I have trouble reading some of the smaller text!)
Something to tell players that creating multiple characters is 100% necessary -- I had no idea how important it was!
A way to 'pin' an anvil item's cost requirements somewhere, so I dont have to memorize exactly what I need to craft it!
Not having to switch characters/worlds to 'save' my game after I start doing a different Activity. Sometimes I'll log out doing [something], but come back and it says I was doing a different thing!

A toggleable option that 'remembers' which world you last logged into, but only if its on the 2nd page of worlds. This way, if you want non-busy worlds, you dont have to switch every time. (Not going to do remember if you choose a popular world, like Pizza 1, or theyd probably overflow).

World 1 end game, kill that boss! You maybe have 3 or 4 characters now. You understand what the game is, and would probably have personal opinions for a new player on how to play.

The card system will allow EVERY monster in the game to drop its own card, at a very rare chance. They will show you info about the monster (akin to what youd see in the wiki), as well as telling you some stats and giving bonuses
I plan on having each card give a passive bonus, as well as there being sets
Should I add the system in, bare bones, EARLY, and finish it later....
.... or should I wait to add it in later once I have it ALL done

Show "time currently spent AFK" for all characters somewhere on the Player-Select screen!

Poll #9 -- Question about Gem Purchases
I have a feeling that the way Minigame Players will get very bad very quickly in just a few more updates...
For example:
Imagine there are 8 different minigames. You have 14 characters, and you bought a few "+2 daily minigame" things with Gems. So you have like 98 minigame plays a day.
If a minigame takes 1-2 minutes to play, thats like 3 hours a day just to use them all up
So here's my Question:
Lets say I changed how minigame play's worked, so that it was X per day across all players.
You would get 100% of the gems back, and would no longer have bonus Minigame Plays
The cost of the Minigame Play's in the Gem Shop would stay the same
(So you can just re-buy the new version if you want)
*Note: This would not happen regularly at all. This might be the only time I ever do this honestly

Based on daily playing, you will earn points for your guild, and as it levels up, all members will receive bonuses throughout the game, similar to the Quantity of bonuses cards give!
Do you want guilds to be all about being the BEST guild in the game? (Where individual players don't matter as much, think of it as Country VS Country in real life.
Do you want guilds to be all about JUST whatever guild youre in? (Where it's all about connecting with your members, think of it as Factions within a single country, and not caring about other countries in real life)

There are some Shoes/Pants which give bonuses to SKILL EFFICIENCY. like mining/chopping/etc

Any class means you can use Bandito Boots on a warrior if you want to boost that warrior's catching skill a bit for power leveling.
However, it also makes classes less unique, since theres less of a reason to be an archer if you dont have to be one to equip Bandito Boots

🏆 Guilds question 1
You earn Guild Points by playing/doing certain things every day (this will be 100% on the server, so dont worry about hackers)
And you can see the GP earned by everyone in your guild!
See how there are different GP icons, bronze silver gold etc?
I want them to be based on total amount of GP! So if you earn 100+, youd have bronze, 1000+, youd have silver, etc. this would mean, eventually, everyone in the guild could have bronze/silver/gold GP icons!
I want them to be based on your amount WITHIN the guild. So Gold "GP" icon is always #1 player in the guild. even if #1 in the guild is only at like 50 GP cuz its a new guild, theyd still have the gold GP icon!
Confused on what these mean? Let me re-explain
The 1st one is saying that the [GP] icon changes colour just based on YOUR GP AMOUNT EARNED. doesnt matter if youre 1st or last in your guild.
The 2nd one is saying that the [GP] icon changes colour just based on YOUR PLACEMENT IN THE GUILD. Doesn't matter if you've contributed 100,000 GP, if someone has earned more you wont have gold
How difficult should it be to make a guild?
= super easy. Getting to level 10
= hard. Get to level 60 / beat desert boss
= SUPER hard. Get to lv 100 / beat Ice boss
Dont vote just based how pro you are, if you do you're worse than the briefcase i stubbed my toe on this morning when i was spinning around in my chair like an idiot

Yes, I know ppl on discord are the try-hards, dont worry I take that into account
You got 6 characters?
On your highest damage character, what is their "max damage" range?
🌋 = 100,000+
🌩️ = 25,000+
🔥 = 10,000+
⚔️ = 4,000+
❄️ = 1,000+
🐇 = 500+
😢 = none of the above
React with JUST the highest one you have
Whats the thing slowing you down the most in your effort to reach the End of the Desert? [VOTE FOR ALL THAT APPLY]
⚔️ = Not doing enough damage to mobs
📔 = EXP to level up class/skills for talents and stuff
🛡️ = Defence, my survivability when i try to push forward is always so low
👁️ = Accuracy, my hit chance is usually the thing keeping me back
🥣 = Alchemy, I feel like my bubbles are really weak tbh
🕐 = Time, I have the stats it just takes a while to actually play through the game cuz im really trying to do everything
🤷♂️ = Idk just... kind of a little bit of everything. No "one" thing jumps out at me as the cause of my snail speed
Whats your favorite 'type' of system so far?
💬 = Quests, seeing the different NPCs and the rewards and stuff
🗺️ = Unlocking new maps, getting to see the new enemies and landscapes
⛏️ = Skills, like mining, choppin, fishing, etc. I like finding ways to increase my EXP gain/efficiency and getting more and more resources per day
🔬 = Sub-systems, like Alchemy, post office, obols, statues, anvil etc. I like figuring out wtf they are and seeing how to best interact with them
= Getting new classes, seeing their attacks and talents
How do you feel about the pace of updates so far, 3 months after launch? [Vote honestly I have my own opinions on this, just wanna see how they line up]
🚀 = theyre really frequent, Id rather you slow down a bit and make them more 'complete'
🐶 = theyre good, idk i haven't really considered it
🐌 = a bit slow, Id rather there be more frequent, small updates every week or two, even though theyd be smaller updates
Note: This wont affect the amount of content that comes out. Like would you rather have one "100" size update a month, or two "50" size updates a month, that kinda thing
Steam release... when?
🔥 = right after guilds in like two weeks (will coincide with OSRS steam release)
🍉 = in a month or so, which is a few weeks after OSRS comes out on steam, I think you should not launch near osrs so you can reach more people
🧊 = in like 2 months, after world 3 is out
Note: "OSRS" (oldschool runescape) is one of the only non-'3d asian' MMO's [aka it's similar to IdleOn] coming to steam from what I've seen in a long time
Final question -- rate the game out of 10 based on how much you've liked recent updates!
⚠️ This is not compared to other games. This is just how you've felt about what's been added over the last few months, or since the last Rating Vote (I'll be doing this a few times)

Poll 22 -- arcade..?
So I had this system in my old game, was pretty cool. You got daily arcade balls to launch, and it was pretty fun to watch the outcome. You could also complete tasks to increase the # of balls u got per day, and there was even a daily card-system where you could get BIG gems if you got a good hand (like a straight/full house)
In addition, the rewards were decent, but you couldn't really "get ahead" (if you bought balls, you'd just end up in the end with less gems than you spent on the balls) -- so it was a good way for F2P players to get some free gems, and P2P players still had fun watching it go
Which idea sounds the most FUN to you?
• Do arcade again, similar to how you did it before, just make it have more side-stuff going on!
• DONT do arcade, do a different game. Still have it be one "big" game though, with a bunch of small side-stuff that the big game interacts with!
• DONT do arcade, do a different game. But have it be a bunch of separate, small games, that don't interact with each other
cobalt mural
Poll 23 -- More active fighting stuff
So I always go straight to the colosseum to test new attack talents... and I was thinking, how do you guys feel about colosseums?
I like colosseums, but I don't really want any other active fighting in the game (other than boss fights too)
I like colosseums, I'd love to see more active fighting things (AKA things with 0 afk that take a few minutes to play)
I dont like colosseums, but I'd like to see different active fighting things
I dont like colosseums, and I don't wanna see any active stuff tbh
cobalt mural
Poll 24 -- So, about those challenges...
For context, please read THIS: #💖future-content-blog message
Too lazy to read? Read my summary --> ||In World 3, there will be special challenges. You start them by resetting one of your characters to lv 1, with no stats, and then completing a challenge within a certain time period, with some sort of restriction. FOR EXAMPLE: Kill World 1 Boss, within 24 hours, without accessing the Storage Chest||
READ THE ABOVE, then react with EVERYTHING YOU AGREE WITH
= I want to have 24/48 hour timers, that have challenges that can be completed in a total of ~1 hour of active play. Maybe I'd play 20 minutes here, 40 minutes later.
= I want to have 1 hour timers, that have challenges that much be complete within that 1 hour. I wanna sit down, start a challenge, and not close the game until that challenge is done
= I want these to be complicated/require my focus. I want to forget about the rest of the game, and just zone-in on the challenge on this 1 character until its done.
= I want these to be chill and passive. I just wanna have to do a few things, then go back to the main game and come back once the challenge completes itself.
= I want these to be 'themed'. Something like " [Buy The Bob] -- Buy a BobJoePickle within 12 hours without accessing the Chest, instead of just "Collect 10 gold coins in 12 hours without accessing the Chest.
(You can react many times, to everything you agree with)

Polls 25 -- Less Lag
Imagine a 'low settings' toggle in the Options -- this would disable small things like items on the ground floating up and down, and particles being created when using/crafting/playing minigames, among various other things
Would you ever enable this "Low Settings" option?
⚠️ Consider that if your game is running smoothly right now, this would probably NOT REDUCE LAG FOR YOU, and just make the game uglier. This would probably only affect really old phones/computers
cobalt mural
Poll 26 -- Colosseum Hiscore tables
Imagine there were a sign in game (probably next to each colosseum) where, if clicked on, youd see the top 5 best scores. I'd only post scores with video proof to prevent cheating.
Would you ever click to check out these colosseum hiscores?
Would you, if you were able to get a score within the top 5, take the time to record/post a video of you getting that score in order to actually make the list?
If you don't think you'd ever get a top 5 score, just PRETEND you did ok? lol
cobalt mural
Poll 27 -- What u want?
A bit of a filler poll, but I've been mulling over the higher concepts of construction (just the general vibe, no specific mechanics or anything), which is the only thing in world 3 i havent really figured out yet
What are you looking to see in world 3?
A BUNCH of different bonuses... I want like 200 small bonuses to upgrade, they'd all be really small but thered be loads!
A lot of UNIQUE bonuses... not just +1% damage or +1% drop rate, but like stuff that really changes the game up a bit... like "You can now upgrade items +1 more times" or "Talent X now has a max lv of 125"
Really SIMPLE upgrading systems. I just press upgrade! No thinking, super intuitive, I can just relax and not worry about things
Really CHALLENGING upgrading systems. I wanna go "woah dang how does THIS all work?" and really figure out how I wanna progress and what to upgrade!
Lots of Secrets!
Stuff that interacts with World 1 and 2!
--
= I like this! I want this!
= Eh, maybe a bit of this
= Nah I don't want this
This is just for me to re-calibrate my own design concepts, just minor tweaks to it really
⚠️ EVERY VOTE COUNTS!! -- Do not be discouraged!
cobalt mural
Poll 28 -- Money money money
First of all... how much money do you get every few days?
= 10 - 50 silver
= 50 gold - 5 plat (blue)
🍝 = 5 plat - 50 plat
I'm talking about coins here people, like the coins at the bottom of your inventory!
Which of the following would you like to see most in world 3?
Upgrades that ONLY cost money, that boost world 3 skills! (just like the alchemy 'p2w' tab)
Upgrades that ONLY cost money, that boost all things in game! (Like +% damage, +% hp, etc)
Upgrades that cost both money and resources, that boost world 3 skills!
Which ones would you be Hyped to see? React with
Also, how would you feel about a tiny side feature, where you create/combine little 'sprockets' to create more and more powerful 'sprockets' to put in your machines?
This would be VERY passive... not much player choice. No upgrades, no nothin', you just either 'create' another base sprocket, or try to combine sprockets into new ones
cobalt mural
Poll 29 -- What is luck, baby don't troll me?
**How would you feel about rare 'things' that do nothing? **These would be things that ONLY YOU CAN SEE, that you could maybe show off here in the discord, or to friends IRL, that would prove you got super lucky. I say 'things' because they may not be 'items' but just symbols or some cool picture on screen to make you feel proud
How would you feel about NON LUCK things that do nothing? Imagine the same thing above, except instead of it being proof you got 'super lucky' it would be proof you actually accomplished something, like kill 100000 monsters in colosseums, or some skill-based thing later on
Now pretend I added these things. Would you want them to be showoffable to other players in some way, so others in game can see that you did the thing? Maybe itd be a vanity hat, or a new type of cosmetic (imagine if pets were already in, it might be a rare pet that has no stats).
Do you ever want to see stuff that gives absolutely no bonuses, and is just a symbol of accomplishment?
⚠️ Confused? Let me explain -- Imagine 'Gym Badges' in Pokemon. Back when I played, they were just.... pictures in a case. They didn't 'do' anything, didn't give any bonuses, but they were fun to look at. That is the type of "Thing" im referring to here
this is a bit of a weird poll... if you don't get what I'm saying, which is understandable, please dont vote
cobalt mural
Poll 30 -- "sample" content
You ever go to a store and they're like "here try a free sample" so you try it and go "hey that was good!" and not buy the product?
Anyway, imagine the following scenario:
You've just started playing Idleon, and 3 days in, you reach the Goblin map -- the one with that "Skull totem" on it. Instead of doing nothing, it actually LETS you play the tower defense mode. But because you haven't reached world 3, you only have 1 available tower and you'll basically lose on wave 2 or 3 every time you try
⚠️ Point is -- it gives you a 'sample' of what the future content looks like way before you actually get to fully play with it
= the GOOD is more than the BAD
= Eh, its about evenly good and bad
= the BAD is more than the GOOD
cobalt mural
Poll 31 -- Youtube videos?
Lemme set the scene... Imagine you JUST got to world 2. You run over to this big 'cauldron' looking thing, and you're immediately confused by all the different buttons and tabs.
Imagine there was a tiny button somewhere to go to a youtube video. It would be like 40 seconds of pure information, "assign players to your cauldron to fill up the bar. You can spend 'full bars' to either unlock new bubbles, or boost the cauldrons stats for the future. Bubbles themselves are permanent boosts that... blah blah blah"
Would you watch these videos if you ever find yourself confused on a new/confusing feature?
Regardless of if you would watch... would you be ANNOYED by the presence of these youtube buttons in game? (They'd probably be in hints, or maybe in the corner somewhere of the UI
cobalt mural
Poll 32 -- World 3 Fuuuutuuure content!!
I will be adding ALL of these to the game within the next few weeks... but in what order, I'm not sure!
React to ones you want to see made FIRST
and 🤏 to the ones you want to see LAST
World 3 Tasks and Merit Shop
World 3 Boss / Chaotic Boss
Nightmare bosses for world 1/2
Pachinko Arcade (source of free gems, but its main purpose is being a fun thing to do for 5-10 minutes as you watch dem ball drop)
New Star Signs, as well as World 3 Constellations
Jman Subclass (u kno u want it)
Quickref for various things --> Star Signs, Refinery, Construction, Printer
Sigils! You know, in Alchemy? Is it really mid feptemberuly already?
Statue rework (more bonuses, and also making them account wide)
More Post Office ORDERS to do each day, and more rewards to spend them on! Like maybe some world 3 bonuses to spend boxes on!
An Idle Skilling update!
Obol rerolling + Combining!
= its in the game!
= I'm planning on adding this next update
cobalt mural
Poll 33 -- LONG terms plans!
Obviously I'm focused on getting out all the small features listed above within the next 6-8 weeks. Trust me, I am not mentally prepared to make a big update for a while!
However, I always like to think ahead, and I want to see what you guys are looking forward to most:
Which content would you like to see first? (Eventually. Again, I have LOTS to do before I do EITHER of these)
**Guild bosses **(fight bosses with guild members. You can summon bigger and more rewarding bosses based on how high leveled your guild is)
Party Dungeons (Would be little themed dungeons filled with not just monster fighting, but puzzles and other activities, all ending with a boss fight. You'd be able to create a 'party' and invite anyone you see in game!)
World bosses (Bosses would have trillions of HP. You'd get to fight them for 30 seconds alone, and your damage would be added up with everyone else in the game. The entire playerbase would get rewards if the boss is killed within 72 hours, or some limited time, and there may be some bonus items for doing lots of damage)
World 4 (as I've said before, this will be something of an 'intermission' world. There wont be lots of crazy mechanics like in world 3, and the new skills would be very basic. It would be half the size of world 3 in terms of content, although it would have equally as many new monsters!)
--
🥇 = this is the one I want to see FIRST!
🥈 = this is the one I want to see SECOND!
🥉 = this is the one I want to see THIRD!
You can react with one of each medal, so 3 reacts in total!
cobalt mural
Before I really dig into it, I wanted to see what things I should think about more than other things...Which aspects of Party Dungeons are you MOST looking forward to?
Just getting to actually play with my friends! Not really concerned about the specifics.
The actual need for cooperation & teamwork to make it through.
The rewards tbh, not really thinking about anything else.
Getting carried by others / carrying the party myself! (NOTE: Damage will most likely be scaled, so that while one person may do the majority of damage, no single person could carry an entire team)
Forming the best party by recruiting other players in the dungeon lobby room (for when you aren't playing it with friends)
Fighting monsters/bosses with others in the dungeon. I understand there'll be other tasks to achieve together, but the fighting itself is what im into
React to the 3 ones you're looking forward to the most!
cobalt mural
Poll 35 -- In Game Achievements!
= I totally agree! = Eh, I guess? = No, I disagree!I like achievements that are sequential. Like one achievement being "reach lv20", then another achievement being "reach lv40", etc
I like having some achievements that are SUPER difficult to get, where most people will never get them. This way I am proud if I get it, and even if I dont get it, I am in awe of those that do!
I like having hidden achievements, that I can either try to solve based on a cryptic clue or just look up on the wiki lol
I like having a few quirky, one-off achievements, like doing some random thing in some random place thats kinda irrelevant to the game and might take a few minutes at most
I want to be able to complete all the achievements relatively quickly and easily, kinda like a shopping list, just ticking off achievements one by one
I want to have some sort of 'gamer score' like Xbox had. It doesn't do anything really, but it just is a number I can compare to others to see who is the better achievement hunter
I want LOTS AND LOTS of small/quick achievements, instead of a few long/time consuming achievements
I want achievements that involve other players in some way
Vote honestly -- do not worry about being in the minority of voting!
having 10 and 500 is MUCH different to 0 and 510 -- Every vote counts!
cobalt mural
Poll 36 -- World 4
The "tiny segment" would be Fully Functional, not some lame half-baked bit of content. Consider it a small "demo", or "teaser" of world 4.
I would like to see a tiny segment of world 4 released months ahead, sure!
I would like to see a tiny segment of world 4 released, but NOT "months" ahead... just a few weeks ahead, 1 month tops.
Nah I dont wanna see world 4 released until it has its major features, like all its skills + monster maps + town upgrade mechanics
Vote for the ONE that you agree with most!
⚠️ NOTE: This would not 'delay' anything. Basically, I'm asking if you'd rather see teh first 10% of world 4 early, or to see 0% of world 4 until most of it is done.
cobalt mural
Maybe I shouldve bolded the above statement, so I'll remind you guys again:
Do not be alarmed by me talking about world 4. I like to broadly think of content WAY in advance (I started thinking about world 3 as early as may of 2020! A whole YEAR before it was released!) It's just the way I do things.

Poll 37 -- Waiting for the bus parties
As you know, the upcoming dungeons feature will (probably) require you to form a party with 2+ people. I am doing my best to add a party-finder feature to make this process super easy, but that being said:
i forgot what i was gonna say
oh thats right
How long would you wait around, waiting to see other people who are also looking to form a party?
🚀 Like a minute, no more...
🏎️ A minute or two probably
🐯 May a few minutes, like the duration of 1 song
🐌 Id just leave it there for 5-10 minutes, checking back occasionally
**Imagine a system where you 'queue' up, basically telling the game "I'm interested in a dungeon, let me know when others are too!". Then, when other people around the game also queue up, you all get brought (with some warning) to the dungeon map
Would you engage with this system?
= I dont understand this 'system' youre talking about, sorry ||Please read the bolded words above if you havent already ;)||
This one isn't about waiting -- just wanna quickly ask, how much time ON AVERAGE, PER WEEK would you be thinking youll spend playing dungeons?
Bro I'm looking to play like MANY many hours a week fr
🌎 Probably a few hours for sure, enough where I've got 'great' dungeoning stats!
🍁 Idk, maybe like 1 hour or 2? Thatd be what... 7 or 8 dungeon runs?
🪨 Probably like 30-60 minutes, like a few dungeon runsRemember, this is On the average WEEK, not day
I may start to say this every time, but I am aware that you guys are NOT representative of 100% of the playerbase. I take that heavily into consideration whenever I look at the polling results, and I have done so for like 3 years now

Poll 38 -- Two-time Jump King
Ok so this is 100% a joke, definitely wouldn't do this even if it got all yes votes, but um...
- Imagine v1.30 Party Dungeon update was finished and ready to upload on Sept 29th (just pretend). I usually wait a day or so to post just to get myself mentally prepared, so the update would go live on Sept 30th.
Now instead, imagine the update is finished on Sept 29th, and instead of waiting for the next day, I stream Jump King on the 29th until I beat it -- and when I DO beat it, I post the update!
Does this spark joy?

Poll 39 -- Final touches on Party Dungeons
I have maybe one more sub-system I've been mulling over, something to do with Dungeon rewards...
Context: Party Dungeons are almost completely separate from the game. None of your stats carry over at all. You'll see what I mean when you play it, its a very good thing trust me, its refreshing.
That being said -- How do you feel about the concept of Dungeon Progression:
(React to the one that BEST describes how you feel):
I wanna progress in dungeons, just as its own mechanism! I wanna be on the best teams, rank up, and fight the toughest dungeon bosses! woo!
I mean progression is sweet, but honestly I'm more thinking about the bonuses I'll get from dungeons that affect the rest of the game, outside of dungeons!
IF you are like "yo, both of those sound equally cool", just react to both. Otherwise, pick the one you like MOST
||You clicked on this! You must be hungry for more party dungeon info, so here you go: Party Dungeons are not meant to replace regular idleon gameplay, but rather just be a way to 'take a break' from it for a bit. They're semi-unique experiences each dungeon run (Random items during the run, and some pretty variable gameplay, when you see the World 2 Dungeon you'll know what i mean), and much shorter experiences. You can just sit down for anywhere from 5 ~ 15 minutes, and just have some fun and get cool stuff at the end. No long term planning, no idle-waiting!||

Poll 40 -- Friday Night Froggin'
How would you feel about special dungeon events in the future -- for example** "Frog dungeon is 20 minutes instead of 10!"** or** "1.5x drop rate!"**
Yes, but you should announce it 1+ week in advance so I can save up my Boosted Runs if I want to... I'd hate to use them all in a week the day before the event happens!
Nah, because then I'd be hesitant to use any Boosted Runs at all all until you announce a Special Dungeon Event
Context: "Boosted Runs" are give weekly, and they make you get way more and and 
. The # of boosted runs you have is shown here:
On that note, how often would you like to see these events!
Every week, oh yea baby!!!
Every other week, but make it reliable! So its always "every other Sunday" or something.
1 on average every few weeks, but do it somewhat randomly, so its exciting when you do announce it!
Reminder: the purpose of polls are to inform me of all of your interests. I don't do exactly what is voted, but I do look heavily at results to shape what I do

Poll 41 -- World 3 Party Dungeon ⚔️ ⚔️ ⚔️
In v1.40, I'm fillin' up world 3 with all the essentials -- World Boss (Chizoar), NPC quests & NPC tokens, as well as constellations and things such as, like, this.
But this ALSO means world 3 needs a party dungeon!
Here's the question:
Consider Party Dungeon 2: Very Structured, you have to pay attention to which room you're in and play accordingly. The 'goal' constantly shifts based on the room, and gameplay is much more diverse.
What would YOU want to see in a Party Dungeon 3?
1️⃣ = Basically Party Dungeon 1 again
🔟 = Basically Party Dungeon 2 again
If you want a MIX of both, say "quite a lot of Dungeon 1, but a bit of Dungeon 2", you'd choose something like 3️⃣ . If you wanted Dungeon 2, with just a tiiiny bit of Dungeon 1's simplicity, you'd vote 9️⃣
🤔 Confused? Basically, 1️⃣ = You think Party Dungeon 1's simplicity is the way dungeons should be. 🔟 = You think Party Dungeon 2's complexity is the way dungeons should be. And numbers inbetween are if you kinda like one more than the other, but not completely
✅ Only vote ONCE
How do you feel about the PROGRESSION of party dungeons? Like ranking up, upgrading dungeon stats, etc
🐌 = Too slow... it takes ages to get more powerful!
🚀 = Too fast! I unlock things so quickly things are overwhelming and kinda meaningless.

Poll 42 -- Anvil Equipment Crafting "chains
As many of you may know, I am planning on not continuing chains with World 4 equipment.
Simply put, how do you feel about this? There's several other things I'm thinking of based on how people react...
= Perfecto, I was tired of having to get multiple equipment to craft the next one!
= eh, I kinda liked the difficulty of getting multiple equipment to craft the next one... but yea I dont mind this
= Darn, I loved having to get multiple equipment to craft the next one! Made it feel special when I finally could!
(Please only react once)
cobalt mural
Poll 43 -- SHINY pets!!??!?!?
Yes, I am planning on there being a small chance for any pet you breed to be SHINY! Like in pokeymon with the different colours and all that.
With that in mind, would you rather...
🇦 - Have every pet only have 1 possible shiny colour. So a shiny frog is ALWAYS red, and a shiny bored bean is ALWAYS yellow, etc
🇧 - Have a shiny pet be a completely random colour. So a shiny frog could be blue, or orange, or purple, etc, and a shiny bored bean could be pink, or red, etc.
I've been mulling this over myself for the last few days, so I'm curious to see what you guys think...
Also just FYI, shinies will have a function. They are NOT just a 'recolour of the pet' (you can think of them as the 4th type of pet, where the 1st is Fighter and 2nd is Forager, and 3rd is 'im not telling yet')
cobalt mural
Poll 44 -- Pet Followers
I plan on having some way to have pets follow you around:
Would you want the pet to be:
🅱️ BIG (Top Pic)
or
🇸 SMALL (bottom pic)?
(It's the exact same pet regardless, the big one is just 200% size, vs 100% size)
cobalt mural
Poll 45 -- 100% completion-ism!
Nothing to do with world 4, but perhaps world 5 (or some update between world 4 and 5). Anyway, I am curious:
How would you feel about a DEFINITIVE ENDING to certain "old" content, and a system that tracks your completion progress & gives massive bonuses?
In other words, redoing (or just adding new level caps) to certain content such that you can fully complete a world, and never really have to think about, or interact, with it again.
i.e. imagine Stamps & Statues have a "definitive" level cap to them, so eventually theyre all maxed out with no more progress to be made
Pros: Less content to have to juggle in your head as the game continues to expand with more content in worlds 4,5,6,7,8.
Cons: Back-tracking to old content to level it up/interact with it, while still being a thing during the first few months of playing, would indeed stop happening once maxed out, and would at that point take away the complexity that many find fun
🤔 Summary: How would you feel if ALL eventually content had an "end" to it, so that you can complete an entire world and all the content within it would be "dead" since it's all maxed out?
= Ah, phew, I'd like that a lot. I enjoyed backtracking and upgrading stamps / statues / alchemy bubbles and stuff like that for a while, but that this point I dont give a frick about it
= Eh, honestly I dont care. If you did that, I'd be like "sure, thats cool I guess". And if you DIDNT do that, I'd be like "sure, that's fine i guess"
= Nah, I like having certain things I can level up forever. I wanna keep upgrading all the things!!!
This is not a definitive Poll or anything, I've just been mulling over this concept for like 3 months now and I'm curious what you all think
cobalt mural
Poll 46 -- Let me "Show" you how its done!!
World 4 lets goooo! Anyway, on a different note, I'm swapping development styles back to faster, smaller updates. I tend to swap betwen that and slower, bigger updates every few months.
Point being, during this style, I show a lot more of my process, and I want to know, what do you enjoy SEEING most about IdleOn development?
🎨 Any art stuff!
🗒️ Write-ups that describe upcoming changes and Quality Improvements!
I just like it all, I have no preference!
NOTE: This is a vote on what you want me to SHOW you guys more of! In other words, this poll wont impact my actual development process, just my 'community presence' so to speak.

Poll 47 -- Survey for BIGTIME improvements!
As you all know by now, I am doing WEEKLY updates to make IdleOn... * checks notes *... great again with no malarky!
Here's a SURVEY of all the most-anticipated improvements -> https://forms.gle/46qtsS3dJVLvVzH27
The results will impact the order in which I develop these improvements!
Also, how about a small question as well:
How do you feel about these small updates (less new content, but more frequent changes and improvements)
How do you feel about previous, longer updates (those have more new content, but no frequent changes and improvements)
How do you feel about no updates at all, and I go back to making Idle Skilling?
cobalt mural
Poll 48 -- New content for upcoming Weekly Updates!
I've loved all the enthusiasm for the recent weekly updates, and I'm gonna keep them going full steam ahead! Of course, there are certain things on my agenda to add to these updates, apart from QoL/Fixes.
Without further ado, I present to you a list of said agenda thingies:
Nightmare bosses: I have an interesting twist for these, involving capping certain stats so you can only grind so hard (not set in stone, this is subject to change). They will cost a LARGE amount of keys -- think x25 or x50 to enter -- and will have CRAZY good loot! Also, new rare boss items of course! The point to these fights will be to allow for boss farming to be both FUN (the 'interesting twist' mentioned before) as well as QUICK (costing 25 or 50 keys will mean you don't have to run these 100s of times). I will be scaling rewards so that doing 1 nightmare run (say it costs 25 keys) WILL be better thanrunning 25 normal runs.
**DONE
Pet followers: Pets that follow you! Depending on game lag, you may or may not be able to see other people's pets -- I'm also thinking of having it be the first ever "account wide" equipment, so you dont feel the need to have to get cool pets for all 9 (10 soon!) of your characters. They will probably have bonuses, but whether theyre unique bonuses or just +stat bonuses I have not yet decided.
Elite Classes: These are sub-sub classes, and there will be 1 for each main class (warrior, archer, mage) available at a new world 4 NPC. They will specialize in cooking / breeding / lab respectively, and will all come with 15 new talents and 1 family bonus (check out the family tab in the codex if you forgot what these are). For those curious, the first 3 Elite Classes will come from the following subclasses (most likely, this may change): Barbarian, Bowman, and Shaman.
**DONE
Sigils: You cant vote for this one, because I'm already planning to do this really soon. Mid Febtemburly is right around the corner! These will be fun, and EXCEEDINGLY idle. You will be checking on these probably once every week just to see progress. No micromanaging of equipping/unequipping here, as bonuses from sigils will be passive.
**DONE
Tower Defence Boons: You may have noticed the BOONS button to the left of the towers while playing worship's Tower Defence game. These will be special abilites cast by your player (think Attack Talents, but more powerful and tower-defence related), unlocked through various systems. These will make Tower Defence more dynamic to play.
World 4 Rift: Accessed in the Octodar map (one of the last world 4 maps), this will be a very strange "end-end game" area. It will be relevant in future worlds too -- to explain it simply, when World 5 eventually comes out and people reach the end of World 5, they will return to the world 4 rift to grind "endless" content. It will be an area mainly meant to push your account's limits, and won't do much for progression, and wont add any new crazy gameplay mechanics.
Server-wide Raid Bosses: Most smaller MMOs have these -- rotating mega-bosses that everyone can sorta "pitch in" daily to kill. Your damage would be capped to a certain amount (say 0.01%) so that no one player will kill it solo. The fun here would be to participate in something "big", as well as see what wacky spin I put on the whole concept whenever it rotates (since you know thats what I do around here!). Also like... new raid-boss rewards and stuff!!!
More secret areas: I love places like the Crypt in the sewer, or King Doot's burial ground. I want to do more of these 'weird' areas that make you think "oh man, what IS this place? whats it gonna make me do, whats its purpose?"
World 5: No, world 5 isnt coming any time yet. I wont even let you vote on this, but if you liked world 4 then world 5 will be for you as well, because I am going to stick much closer to my design philosophy I had with W4 than the one I had with W3, while obviously making it unique at the same time as I always do!
🗳️ Here's the VOTING rules:
= My brotha, I do not care about this. Please focus on other stuff first.⚠️ ONLY USE EACH REACT ONCE, understand? ||You can use as many times as you want though. I will allow that||

Poll 49 -- Which new content would you be more excited for?
🌋 **World 5. **Includes everything you'd expect in a new world -- 3 new skills that drastically change up gameplay, new monsters to fight, new quests, new Smithing equipment, etc. Will follow in the footsteps of World 4 in being "idle" focused, while also being new and intriguing!
🌌 World ∞. Includes NOTHING that you'd expect in a normal world. No new skills. What it DOES have instead is: A series of increasingly difficult never-ending tasks that push you're account to the max. The rewards would include cosmetics only, as far as I'm currently thinking.
The main idea with World ∞ is that it's a place you always go back to when you're done with new content (like once you're done with world 5 when that comes out, world 6 when that comes out, etc).
So which one excites you more?

Poll 50 -- Keyboard movement
*Here's a totally fun and weird concept I've been thinking of for probably 2 years now... *
If I added Keyboard movement (walking around on platforms, jumping up/down platforms, climbing ropes, going into portals), would you EVER use them?
⚠️ This is PC 
only. Wouldn't impact Android/iOS (still coming soon btw).
